Yes, if you specify "host:eli.elilabs.com" in the alta vista search
patterns, then it will confine the search to the archiver's server.
The mgetty archives are well indexed by most of the major search
engines, but the crawlers only pass thru about every 2 to 4 weeks, so
if you are looking for something recent, you will miss it.  A search
engine for the list would be updated every night.

BTW We have a volunteer who is going to install the htdig search
engine, so we shall see how that works.
